2 paper-writing theories
1) Mention everything (in passing), so the readers (graders, profs) know you know all that is involved.
2) Mention only what’s within-scope & keep it a tight (albeit closed) paper. But then what of all the contingencies I just left open? What of all the things I know are involved, but don’t have time or space to mention?? These are the questions which drive me (a) crazy and (b) back to #1.
I’ve previously gone with #1, but no one seems to like that way of writing. It’s certainly how my brain works. I’ve got a paper due in exactly 48 hours. Looks like I’ll try for #2. Still I fuss: “Sure it’s easier to leave stuff out, but it’s a Western-minded induced inaccuracy!” ..And I’m a fan of accuracy.
